Looking for Larry David look-alikes

I was told that the HBO folks were hiring Larry David look-alikes for stand-in duties while filming here... I wanted to find the ad for this...

Then I found this! A professional Larry David look-alike for your next corporate event or party, according to the site...



Anyway, never did find the ad for the look-alikes...
